In this version, the Silberhaus family has invited friends and family together on Christmas Eve to celebrate the retreat of Napoleon’s Grand Army. Friends, family and neighbors come together to celebrate Christmas Eve as well as a wedding. The young Clara Silberhaus receives a peculiar gift on this night from her godfather Drosselmeier — a nutcracker. With her new present, she finds herself in an unknown-yet-familiar world filled with rats, snowflakes, bonbons, candy canes and all sorts of mystical holiday cheer. Clara must face the truths of the world as she tries to understand her magical dream.
